There is another location where transcoding can be disable in Device Settings, please go to 'Media Devices' and double-click your TV in the list (192.168.1.19) then on the Transcoding tab make sure the box to transcode incompatible formats is checked.
If Mezzmo is still delivering the original file to the TV because it matches the device profile you can force transcoding by going to the Advanced tab on the Device Settings dialog and change the setting for 'Deliver media files supported by the device' to 'Never Deliver' and then Mezzmo will transcode the files.
When files are added to the library from the Network Pane in Mezzmo the original URL provided by the host server (the HD Homerun) is sent to the device if the file format matches the device profile, so currently Mezzmo is listing the file for the Vizio TV with the URL for the HD Homerun and when the TV tries to play it the request is going to the HD Homerun and we cannot see any information about this exchange in the logs because the HD Homerun is handling the request. If Mezzmo transcodes the file then the Mezzmo server is requesting the content from the HD homerun then transcoding it and transferring the content to the TV so we should see more information about what is happening in the logs.

OK - another set of logs sent, hopefully with transcoding on....

Sorry - email seems to be acting up... here is the link to the latest logs with transcoding (hopefully) on... although there was still no go on seeing the stream...

The logs still indicate that Mezzmo is listing the original URL from the HD Homerun. If you have set the Advanced options in Device Settings to Never Deliver files supported by the device then something must be going wrong as the file is not being transcoded. The logs indicate you have two Vizio TVs listed in 'Media Devices' so you could try deleting both of these then let Mezzmo rediscover them and try setting the Advanced setting again.
You can also try editing the device profile for Vizio Smart TV and change the id of the mpeg container so that it never matches native files:
Change
<avcontainer id="mpeg"
To
<avcontainer id="mpeg_nomatch"
This will still allow transcoding.

Thanks Peter - I did both of your suggestions by deleting and refreshing the devices as well as edit of vizio smart tv profile. Still no joy at the tv. Logs are below (perhaps we could save some time if you could point out where to find whether transcoding took place or was attempted?).

Again, thanks so much for all the time you are devoting to this. I appreciate it!
ps - the tv is detected as YamahaBDP...don't have a clue why lol

Hi Toby,
the log still shows the original URL from the HD Homerun and that transcoding is disabled but it appears that transcoding is enabled in Device Settings for the TV and also in Transcoding Settings so this may be a bug in the current version of Mezzmo, we will investigate further.

Thanks so much for your time and effort Peter. Will be super if we can get this working!
If there is anything else I can do that would provide helpful info for you just let me know and I'll do my best.
Again. thanks!

OK Peter - here are the log files with HDHR tuner device set to Vizio Smart TV with transcoding on, and transcoding advanced as default and forced, along with setting HDHR Prime the same way, both of them set, setting Vizio Smart TV device to both default transcode under advanced and forced transcode. No combination made any difference to the results at the tv.
both HDHR Prime and HDHR tuner set to default Vizio Smart TV forced transcode, with tv itself forced transcode

both HDHR and TV forced transcode
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...h%20forced.zip
everything set to default transcode

I have more log files but my rotten naming has me confused as to the various combination conditions. These three that are above should at least provide some additional info for you.
Thanks!

I was looking through the MezzmoMediaService.txt file and saw under ID 2 The HDHR Tuner was showint the UPnPUrl as using port 80 - most everything I've seen about how HDHomerun Prime works uses port 5004. Just not sure if those things are supposed to be the same are not. The Prime api seems to be using the following
Channel lineup available at http://<ipaddress>/lineup.xml or http://<ipaddress>/lineup.json
Tune a channel with http://<ipaddress>:5004/auto/v<channelnumber>
so maybe the use of the Vizio Smart TV profile won't work to get the stream going?
I think I'm just confusing myself...

From looking at the item description in the logs it appears that the streams from the HD Homerun are missing the resolution, bitrate, channels and sample rate. Can you please right-click on one of the HD Homerun files in Mezzmo and go to properties then select the Video tab to see if these values are listed.
